      Pros

      I worked part timeduring sixth form. Was great for my personal statement for university. I didnt do duke of ediburgh so it looked better I like to think.

      Cons

      Not much money obviously. And the people vary. If you work in the shop then you can get all sorts.

      A joy to work with

      Pros

      You get to meet a mixture of people, both when meeting customers and also fellow coworkers. It is also a great way to train skills for other jobs.

      Cons

      The pay is low or none if there on a voluntary basis and the organisation can be chaotic. There isn't much of a over-arching standard on how it functions at the more detailed level.

      Hello, It's great that you've got to meet a mix of people and have built up transferable skills through your volunteering, we really appreciate the time our volunteers spend with Oxfam so thank you for your ongoing support. You're correct that there is no pay for volunteer positions; we do however have paid opportunities advertised on our website and many of our shop managers are former volunteers whose past volunteer experience has helped them to show how they would be able to manage a shop and volunteers. I hope your volunteering in Lancaster continues to be 'a joy'! Recruitment Team at Oxfam GB, Oxford.

      Pros

      Meaningful work, good benefits, motivated co-workers, professional but relaxed environment.

      Cons

      Has a bureaucratic side to its culture that can be frustrating. Depending on department, there can be a lack of opportunity for advancement, because there is relatively low turnover (which in part reflects the positives about working here).
